For the third week in a row, the Rams got off to a slow start, falling behind 10-0 to the winless Lions on Sunday. But on their second offensive possession, Los Angeles kicked things into gear. The offense capped off an 11-play, 84-yard drive with a touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford to Van Jefferson, a perfect throw and catch from the two Rams playmakers.
Jefferson showed off his hops, elevating over the Lions defender to make a leaping grab in the left side of the end zone on a critical third down. That pulled the Rams to within three points of Detroit, a much-needed touchdown.
That man, Van 🙌 @VanJefferson12 finds the end zone!
